Collected works
I’ve put all my Inktober sketches into a single file, and have exported it as epub using the tools in Adobe InDesign.
This should allow the file to be rendered in ibooks and Kindle, although only the actual real Kindle device version, as Amazon don’t support fixed layout for just kindle apps (which is weird).
The process took about an hour and is a good example of image file compression, a topic I’ve been explaining to students at Grand Parade recently. They need to understand how to maintain image quality but maintaining a smallish file size, primarily to make sure their documents are under the 40Mb Turnitin limit.
I took the original 1000x1000px .png images and exported them as .jpgs with a 60% compression which reduced their size to around 150Kb (a good target), then placed them on pages in InDesign. Once they were all laid out I exported as .epub and added a cover image.
I’ve also exported as a .pdf which comes out at just 3.9Mb
Scarlett has made a video of the Inktober wall up in the Litho Studio with is super impressive, if you get a chance you should really go and see it.
